(Wheaton, Illinois) February 15, 2008 — Merit Solutions, Inc., a leading Microsoft Gold Certified IT consultancy and software development firm specializing in Microsoft Dynamics, announces the release of its newest version of Enterprise Quality Management (EQM). In today’s increasingly competitive market and stringent compliance and quality control regulations, companies across all industries are faced with rapidly increasing quality control and risk management issues. Whether having to meet industry standards (ISO) or prove government compliance (FDA), companies are constantly striving to manage and measure quality control and compliance processes while supporting risk management objectives. In an effort to help companies compete on quality, Enterprise Quality Management assists mid-market firms in overcoming these obstacles and achieving operational excellence, resulting in a true competitive advantage. When used in tandem with Microsoft Dynamics GP, EQM allows users to manage test plans and procedures throughout a product’s life cycle while maintaining a highly controlled environment: 

• Sustain differentiation based on quality by eliminating manual steps
• Manage test processes in an automated, standardized format
• Use validated test results to ensure compliance
• Manage information in a closed-loop, integrated system

Merit Solutions EQM Version 2.0 includes improved test plan capabilities, as well as Certificate of Analysis functionality that specifies QA Transaction Detail, QA Transaction Step Summary, QA Transaction Procedure Summary, QA Transaction Test Summary and QA Transaction Test Plan Summary information

According to Dan Abernathy, Managing Director at Manufacturing Resource Partners, “With the Merit Solutions Enterprise Quality Management (EQM) module, we can see many opportunities to use GP Manufacturing to extend process automation efforts. The EQM solution enhances the functionality of Microsoft Dynamics GP by allowing customers to fully automate testing and other applications outside of standard GP. With Merit Solutions’ EQM, we can analyze trends and predict challenges ahead of time, before they snowball into real problems and major issues. Now that’s quality control.”
